Steven Edward Sloop has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Single ion conductor cross-linked polymeric networks
    Patent number: 7902299
    Abstract: Single ion conductors comprising polymer electrolytes prepared by grafting a salt compound onto a comb-branch polymer or dendrimer are disclosed having superior properties.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: September 19, 2005
    Date of Patent: March 8, 2011
    Assignee: The Regents of the University of California
    Inventors: John Borland Kerr, Shanger Wang, Jun Hou, Steven Edward Sloop, Yong Bong Han, Gao Liu
  • Polymeric electrolytes based on hydrosilyation reactions
    Patent number: 7101643
    Abstract: New polymer electrolytes were prepared by in situ cross-linking of allyl functional polymers based on hydrosilation reaction using a multifunctional silane cross-linker and an organoplatinum catalyst. The new cross-linked electrolytes are insoluble in organic solvent and show much better mechanical strength. In addition, the processability of the polymer electrolyte is maintained since the casting is finished well before the gel formation.

  • Method of cross-linking poly(ethylene oxide) and poly[oxymethylene-oligo(oxyethylene)] with ultraviolet radiation
    Patent number: H1666
    Abstract: Poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO) and poly[oxymethylene-oligo(oxyethylene)](PEM) disks are cross-linked by exposure to UV radiation. The rate of formation of cross-links is greatly enhanced by the presence of benzophenone, and an average cross-link density of up to 6 mol% of ethoxy units can be obtained after irradiation. The highly cross-linked polymers are insoluble in water or organic solvents and show improved physical properties for handling and the formation of free-standing films. Dynamic modulus measurements and polymer swelling are employed to characterize the polymers. Dynamic modulus measurements show that, upon irradiation, PEO and PEM become cross-linked elastomeric solids.
